I'd consider writing it as a C daemon, completely outside the SDK/NDK, and bake it into the firmware. > Or would you just run the phonecall software outside Android in a > normal Linux process and communicate with Android apps over sockets? AIDL should work from a normal Linux process. Leastways, the firmware implements many things that way, from what I can tell. Pretty much everything that ends in "Manager", like NotificationManager and AlarmManager, is really a gateway to an AIDL proxy, communicating to some firmware code running in some other process. That being said, a socket might work too. You're diving beyond my Linux systems programming depth... :-) -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.1 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
